New devices from illy and Petcube are now available with Dash
Replenishment

Virtual Dash Button Service now available to bring 1-Click reordering
to connected devices with screens

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 10, 2018--
(NASDAQ: AMZN)—Amazon today welcomes several new device makers joining
the Dash Replenishment program to develop smart products to
automatically reorder consumables when supply runs low. Device makers
include HP, Kenmore, 3M’s Filtrete brand, Epson, and Blustream.
Additionally, devices from illy and Petcube are now available for
customers to purchase.

Dash Replenishment enables smart, connected devices to measure supply
consumption through a variety of inputs, including infrared, pressure
flow, weight, and other sensor arrays. The measurement then signals an
automatic reorder of supplies before they run out. For example, a Dash
Replenishment-enabled washing machine can automatically reorder
detergent or a smart printer can automatically reorder ink.

In addition, Amazon announced the Virtual Dash Button Service (VDBS), an
SDK that allows third parties to offer virtual Dash Buttons on their
screened devices. Virtual Dash Buttons are shortcuts that allow Prime
members to quickly find and reorder their favorite products from a
selection of millions of eligible products. Virtual Dash Buttons
launched on Amazon’s mobile application and website in January 2017,
expanded to Echo Show in October, and now can be available on third
party devices via VDBS

“We’ve all felt the frustration of realizing we’re out of something we
frequently use, so it’s no surprise customers are loving the convenience
of Dash Replenishment, which makes shopping for everyday consumables
completely disappear,” said Daniel Rausch, Vice President of Smart Home,
Amazon. “Dash Replenishment takes advantage of smart, connected
products, enabling a device to track supply usage so a customer never
runs out of what they need.”

New device makers joining the Dash Replenishment program include
leading, national brands:

HP is developing printers that automatically reorder ink.“Printing
is about preserving and sharing what matters most in our lives – from
treasured photos to important business documents,” said Anthony
Napolitano, Vice President and General Manager, Print Services and
Solutions, HP Inc. “With Dash Replenishment, customers can experience
the joy of printing without the fear of running out of ink. We are
proud to team up with Amazon on this exciting new service, which
alongside services such as HP Instant Ink, will give everyone an
easier way to print.”

The Kenmorebrand is developing several smart home
appliances, including a refrigerator, washer, dryer, dishwasher, and
water softener, that will automatically reorder supplies.“Most
of us inevitably forget to restock the consumables we need – like
laundry detergent and dishwasher tabs – until we’ve run out,” said
Chris McGugan, general manager, Innovation & Kenmore at Sears Holdings
Corporation. “By integrating Dash Replenishment with our home
appliances, we’re using innovative technology to automate reordering
and make sure our customers always have the supplies they need to keep
their homes running smoothly.”

3M is developing Filtrete Smart Air Filters that automatically
reorder replacement filters when the filter reaches end of life."Using
a high-performance air filter is a great way to help improve the air
quality in your home, but many customers aren’t sure when they need to
replace their filters,” said Patrick Hiner, New Product Marketing
Manager from 3M. “We've leveraged Dash Replenishment to build sensors
directly onto Filtrete Air Filters to accurately track customer usage
and ensure replacement filters arrive just in time.”

Additionally, two new Dash Replenishment-integrated products are now
available for customers to purchase. The recently launched illy
Y5 Espresso & Coffee Machine tracks capsule usage for
reorders.

“Coffee is a must-have for many homes and offices so running out can be
very inconvenient,” said Barry Sheldon from Illy. “We’re incredibly
excited to deliver the first capsule coffee machine with Dash
Replenishment integration – the illy Y5 Espresso & Coffee Machine, which
creates an easy and efficient way to reorder, ensuring coffee is on-hand
whenever it’s needed.”

Petcube
Bites is a HD pet camera and treat dispenser that allows you to
interact remotely with your pet by flinging a treat to them when you’re
away—with Dash Replenishment, the device automatically reorders the
treat of your choice before you run out.

“We love that Dash Replenishment means pet parents never have to worry
about running out of their favorite treats when using the Petcube Bites
treat camera. This integration supports our mission of making technology
available to pet parents that helps improve pet care while enriching the
pet parent/pet connection,” said Yaroslav Azhnyuk, CEO and co-founder of
Petcube.
